GI.biz reports that the as-yet untitled game is heading to 3DS and DS later this year.

Sumo Digital’s creative director Sean Millard said of the announcement, “The Moshi franchise is a really exciting project to be working on. It’s such a successful brand and developing a class-leading game based on the Moshi characters and their world is a fantastic opportunity.

“Mind Candy are enormously supportive of the things we want to do to develop the Moshi universe and it’s great to be involved in such a truly creative partnership. The game’s going to be great – not just for the existing audience but for gamers new to Moshi Monsters as well.”

Mind Candy’s Andy Matjaszek added, “We are hugely excited to be partnering with Sumo on our most ambitious DS game to date. The game will be very stylised, action heavy and aspirational so will hopefully delight our fanbase and beyond.

“Sumo have proven their expertise with the likes of Sega All-Stars and we’re excited to help champion the excellent talent within the UK games development market.”

The news comes as the Moshi Monsters creator is about to consider making an arrival on US soil in the future.

“We can’t necessarily stay private forever,” said CEO Michael Acton-Smith in an interview. “We have a lot of shareholders and we don’t want to sell. Going public at some point is the smartest way forward.”

Acton-Smith added it was inspired to make a move by companies such as Zynga and Pandora going public, but insisted any move wouldn’t happen for the next few years.

“To build a business with global scale that can go public, we absolutely have to be huge in the US and that’s one of the many reasons we want Moshi to take off here.

“The window has been opened this year where it hasn’t been in recent years. Investors are understanding there’s a huge amount of value in tech businesses.”
